Reminds me I caught my first one in the wild the other day. Note the replaced bumper, and still visible damage to the front left. I'm sure they have insurance /s

For sure, there could be one person with 1.1 and 10 people with 0.99, but the average will still be 1.0

"Half our students are below average!" kinda vibes - KDR necessarily means that for every person with 1.5, there is someone with a 0.67, that's just how the math works. If I'm anywhere near 1.0, I'm happy.

Absolutely, it's a fabulous engineering challenge, to make it work well on a hobbyist grade 3D printer with ordinary materials. Also a lesson in using the right tool for the right job (some parts are just better off milled or bought OtS)

I used to frequent the FOSSCAD IRC ages back as a teen. This started during the post-Liberator panic, there were talks about regulating 3D printers to not allow printing guns, etc. Designed a few things, never actually printed any of it myself, but some others did. Really got me into engineering before I exited the scene, led to actually pursuing an engineering career. Was surprised to see 3D printed gun videos so openly shared, it was pretty underground for ages there.

I tried this myself, but it's hard for a few reasons:

  • Messaging actually takes more time (defeats some of the purpose)
  • No banking apps (inconvenient)
  • No proprietary 2FA (nonstarter for work reasons)
  • No "let me Google that real quick" moments (comparison shopping when in store, looking up a phone number for a restaurant, etc.).
  • Their cameras universally suck

Some "dumb" phones still have a web browser and such, so you're not completely out of luck, but it's painful.

I have 35mbps upload from the ISP, and limit each stream to 8mbps. This covers direct streaming all my 1080p content and a 4K transcode as needed.

Thanks for the explanation!

I'm out of the loop, anywhere I can read more about what's going on?

[–] WFloyd 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

That makes sense, thanks for the thorough response!

If they are "clearly not working", why can't you prove it?
